Work in compost or leaf mould and leave fallen leaves in place as mulch. Keep it watered through dry spells, since dry soil sends it dormant early. It needs no deadheading or cutting back; let the foliage fade on its own and leave the berries for the birds. Mark the spot, because it disappears underground by late summer in some years. Wear gloves when handling it: all parts contain crystals that irritate the mouth and skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eArisaema triphyllum\u003c\/em\u003e grows wild in moist woods across eastern North America, from Nova Scotia and southern Ontario and Quebec south to Florida.
